A New Thing
(From a Facebook post)
Slate Auto is shaking up the electric vehicle market with its radical new offering: the Slate Truck, a $20,000 American-made EV that strips away modern car luxuries to focus on affordability and simplicity.
Slated for release in 2026, the minimalist two-seater features no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen, with body panels made of durable, unpainted plastic.
Embracing a "digital detox" ethos, it invites owners to customize their trucks with DIY vinyl wraps and add-on kits, while skipping the costly complexities that usually plague auto manufacturing. By eliminating major production hurdles like paint shops and offering one model, one color, and one trim, Slate aims for financial sustainability few EV startups have achieved.
Despite its bare-bones approach, the Slate Truck isn't skimping on safety or potential upgrades. It targets a 5-Star crash rating and offers bolt-on expansion kits, extended battery packs, and user-friendly maintenance backed by "Slate University." Investors, including reportedly Jeff Bezos, have shown interest in Slate's radically simplified model, which challenges a bloated auto industry increasingly reliant on tech-heavy, high-cost vehicles. The big question now: Are consumers ready to embrace a back-to-basics, fully customizable EV as a new standard in personal transportation?

Looks pretty good at first blush.
I'd say you really don't wanna be in a frontend crash in this thing. But I haven't seen any testing data on that one yet.

This stuff has worked wonders on some tiny ants that were trying to conquer my patio.
Waiting for someone to tell me it's the worst thing since DDT.

I think it's prob'ly a real thing, which makes it really hard for me to unravel the circularity of parody and self-parody and the un-self-awareness of it all.
Empty podia for the Dems.
And the GOP queen? Why, it's Mike Pence, of course.

Twitter pal Eve The Potter recently walked away from a pretty solid tech gig to follow her dreams.
I ordered a tankard last week, and it's become a permanent fixture in the daily routine (ie: semi-OCD nut-ball morning ritual) that supports and reinforces my rather sever coffee jones.

Dave Smith, Business Insider:
Sam Morrison likes to create thought-provoking art.
In high school, he made silk-screen shirts and decks of cards with secret compartments inside. But over the past several years, most of his projects were digital — that is, until he had the idea last year to make physical flip-flops out of President Donald Trump's tweets.
"Take a scroll through Donald Trump's 40,000 tweets, and you're sure to catch some contradicting opinions," Morrison told Business Insider over email. "I wanted to highlight this hypocrisy."
Morrison had a full-time job in the advertising industry at the time, but he got to work on producing his flip-flops. He sourced his own materials and printed and packaged every flip-flop by hand.
He made 1000 pairs, and they sold out in less than a month.

A gaming chair - available at fine retail outlets everywhere from $129.99.
And for whatever it's worth now, here's Dennis Miller being prophetic, from a bit way back in the 90s - when he was still pretty funny, having not yet turned into the whiny-butt pussy "conservative" he is now. Bless his heart.
